Comparisons of mapped magnetic field lines with the source path of the 7 April 1995 type III solar radio burst

The eruption mechanism of solar flares and type III are currently an extremely active area of research, especially during the solar cycle is towards maximum. In this case, the total energy of solar burst type III is of the order of solar flare with the explosion of the energy can up to 1015 ergs. The solar flare event is one of the most spectacular explosions that still be on-going study in the solar physics world. This event occurred at 2:000 UT on 15th April 2012 is due to the explosion of the magnetic energy in from the chromosphere and converted into the heating, mass motion and particle acceleration which can be detected by solar radio burst type III. In this work, we will highlight our first light detection of very tiny solar radio burst type III, which has been observed at the National Space Centre, Banting, Selangor detected by the Compound Low Cost Low Frequency Transportable Observatories (CALLISTO) system at 5:53:23. The region of the data is from 150 − 400 MHz in radio region. This burst is drifted from 150 MHz till 260 MHz. It represents a total energy of 6.2035 × 10-7 eV − 1.0753 × 10-6 eV. This fast drift burst is a continuity of the acceleration of the particles which is intermittent, and can be observed since the explosion of the solar flare. Although the burst is very tiny, it is still significant because this burst is the first detection of a single type III burst from our site. Still, the acceleration of the particles can be detected from Earth in the radio region within 3 hours period of observation at the post stage of solar flare.

A preliminary correlation study of the herring − bone type II with a type III solar burst of has been made. On the basis of this study and in combination with the observation in radio emission, an interpretation of the mechanism of the occurrence of this event has been proposed. The type II solar radio burst with a split and herring bone is occurring at the same time from 36 MHz till 50 MHz. We have noted that an individual type III burst also can be observed at 13:23 UT from 45-50 MHz. During that day, a stream of solar wind from a coronal hole on the Sun has disturbing Earth's magnetosphere creating a minor geomagnetic storm, G1 on the NOAA scale of G1-G5. In this case, the solar flare is not very high, but CME is responsible to form a solar radio burst type II. Overall, based on seven days observation beginning from 25th March 2013, the solar activity is considered as very low. The highest solar flare can be observed within 7 days is only a class of B8 flare. There was no CMEs event that directed to the Earth is detected. The geomagnetic field activities are also at minimum level. Although the solar flare event is at a lower stage, it is still possible to form the solar radio burst type II which is associated with CME event. From the selected event, although theoretically solar radio burst type II is associated with CMEs, there is no compelling solar radio burst type II without a flare. The only difference is the dynamic structure and the intensity and speed of both phenomena (solar flares and CMEs) which depend on the active region. Nevertheless, understanding how energy is released in solar ﬂares is one of the central questions in astrophysics. This solar radio burst type II formation is the first event that successfully detected by e-CALLISTO network in 2013.
